The siege of Kozuki occurred in 1578, when the army of Mōri Terumoto attacked and captured the castle of Kozuki in Harima province. Kozuki had been taken by Toyotomi Hideyoshi the previous year and entrusted to Amako Katsuhisa. When it fell to the Mōri, Amako committed hara-kiri. Amako's loyal and heroic general Yamanaka Shikanosuke Yukimori was captured and killed in the battle.
